I Tipito They are an underrated group. Band in overalls and supreme paradigm of a void of arrogance inappropriate for the genre. What is the singer’s name? Does anyone know? Many think that Los Tipitos are more than Tan Biónica, but they don’t fill stadiums because they lack trauma and their members, along with ChanoThey are ugly.
They have at least one court song. Not just anyone. A shot is a direct blow to the hypothalamus. Bells in the night He has that sublime condition. Before the pandemic, there was a Telefe novel based on the title, and the group had to make a special version – more acoustic, slower – of the strip starring Calu Rivero.
The song that the Vélez and San Lorenzo fans sing, Bells in the night, was published exactly 20 years ago. The tingling that a blow produces. Here’s what it is. Something that surpasses criticism and even seems to escape any rule of authority. The blow knocks you out, it’s emotion, it’s a brief refuge from human misery. It matters more than words. It makes you start singing or dancing.
“A lot of people who know Bells in the night So he doesn’t know who we are it means the song has passed you by“, its author was sincere, Walter Piancioli. In other words, getting to court may be the best way to become anonymous (“Here I am champion, I follow you until I die. Here I am champion, I’m back. You must know: without Vélez I don’t live, I don’t live”, the fans sing).
At this time, Argentine popular music includes trap, Duki, Maria Becerra, Bizarre and all this. In this editorial we wondered what the last national rock hit would be. Furthermore, we wanted to know if rock will no longer be a relic, a movement aged like wine or, alternatively, like Too bad Alvarez.
“Many people don’t know who we are,” says Walter Piancioli, singer and composer (far right). Photo: Juan Manuel FogliaBells in the Night was part of Armando Chameleon. Released in 2004 by PopArt and produced by the GIT guitarist Pablo Guyot, was a real commercial success. It also included Witchcraftwhich had its own clip on MTV, and another future classic: Silence.
The secrets of success
A song becomes a hit when it embraces the entire human community. Is there a formula? Does it have to do with the verse, the bridge, the chorus? The tingling that causes the blow, we were saying. The goosebumps thing. That crucial moment of physical reaction to the music.
A success, whatever it is, has the grace and power to tug at the heartstrings of millions of people. By the way if you’re halfway there and listen Bells in the night It will be like handing a gun to a hitman.
There is a book by the journalist Maitena Aboitiz where he interviewed almost all the names in national rock. He basically asked them the same existential question: How were the songs we all sing made? The result is Anthology of Argentine rock (The story behind each song).
Feedback from musicians, in general, never speaks of an intelligent method. Nor by a recipe or by any kind of premeditation and betrayal. Almost all the answers in the book revolve around coincidences and shells of dispersed energies.
Gustavo Cerati and the hit: “‘Of light music’ was one of the most immediate songs we had with Soda,” he said.Consulted by Maitena, Gustavo Cerati refering to light music saying it was “one of the most instant songs we had with Soda Stereo. It was coming into the room, starting to play and the riff just came out.”
From The wind tells the rainundoubtedly impressed by Los Gatos, Litto Nebbia He said: “I did it on a terrace. It emerged from one. Music and lyrics together. For the time, and for a group of long-haired teenagers, it was a very strange song, because it’s very calm. Even It must be the first melodic rock song to be successful!”.
The truth of Bells…according to Walter Piancioli, its author, it has to do with texts and music that appeared separately and converged in the right place and at the right time.
It turns out that Piancioli was reading Be a writerFrom Abelardo Castellowhere one of the fundamental protagonists of 20th century Argentine literature proposes the following: If you like a story, rewriting it as a poem is a great idea.. OK, said good old Walter and began to think of a way to reverse Poe.
The lyrics of the song, then, would be the rewriting of The Raven. Piancioli, apparently, did so by appealing a playful exercise in emotional memory, trying to capture the scenes and events I remembered from reading. Then came the chord sequences. The rest is exclusive and autobiographical content of the singer.
“A question that completely surpasses you,” he says with palpable modesty about the topic. “When you create songs like that, you never think they could mean what they mean today.. It would never occur to you. Also, I think if you think about it, you won’t finish composing it because of the dizziness it gives you.”
In another interview he observed: “You always have the illusion, because that’s your carrot. But what you don’t think is that a certain song will be what it was.” And she repeats as if in chorus: “Many people you know Bells in the night he doesn’t know who we are“.
“Bells in the Night” was inspired by “El Cuerveo”, by Poe and by a reading by the writer Abelardo Castillo (photo). Los Tipitos have been around since 1994. It took them ten years to get on the radio. They have continued to do so ever since Witchcraft, Silence and naturally, Bells in the night.
